How to sow and grow sweet peas?
To get earlier flowering and a guaranteed seed yield in Estonian conditions, sweet peas are grown through seedlings.
To do this, in mid-March, the seeds are first soaked overnight in hot water (+60+80°С), and when they germinate (after 3-4 days), they are sown 1 each in peat pots (4x4 cm) filled with soil mixture of soddy land, peat and sand (2.0: 1.0: 0.5).
Shoots appear in 4-7 days. In the phase of 2-3 pairs of true leaves, the seedlings are pinched to remove the growing point, resulting in more side shoots.
In early May, seedlings are planted in open ground, the distance between plants is 25-30 cm. Metal stakes 1.8 m long are used as supports, on which a mesh with 10x10 cm cells is pulled. Pergolas can also be used as supports, as well as planted peas along the fences and near the verandas.
In dry and hot weather, plants are abundantly watered under the root. Top dressing is carried out with a complex mineral fertilizer: before planting seedlings in holes, 10 days after planting and at the beginning of budding - 20 g / 10 l of water.
Low-growing varieties are especially good for container culture. In order for the plants to bloom in September-October, seeds for seedlings are sown in late May-early June. Low-growing varieties have a shorter growing season and bloom quickly.
Fragrant peas are cold-resistant and withstand autumn frosts down to -5°C, so a blooming fragrant carpet will please your eye for a long time! The main thing - do not forget to feed the plants every 10 days.
